Funny you should ask, as we are having a a traditional German meal on
Christmas Day. Our meat will be Sauerbraten, and I began marinating the
roast this past Friday. Along with that we will have the following...

Spätzle
Braised Red Cabbage
Fresh Green Beans with Crisp Bacon and Fresh Dill
Cucumbers and Onions in Sour Cream
Schwaldwälder Kirschtorte

New Year's Day will bring the Sauerkraut and Pork.

On both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve we usually just nibble on a wide
assortment of appetizers.
